TD122: 4 Awesome Trucker Workouts

This episode is a continuation of TD120: Truckers And Exercise where I answered listener Jeremy's questions about exercising out on the road. TD122: 4 Awesome Trucker Workouts takes that further by telling you about some workout apps and methods I've used over the years.

But before I get to the exercising junk, I talk about the new Kenworth T-680 I'm driving and my time on the road with nephew Jacob. I even go off on a tangent about rap music and the people who listen to it. We also discuss a couple of road rage incidents involving truckers and I issue a warning about signing onto Uber Freight.

In the feedback section, Mike and Chris had comments on truck driving simulators, Kyle tells us a bit about how Walmart operates, Greg has a suggestion for a portable shower, and Brian the Aussie sent in an audio comment that dives into everything from the US DOT rules to my relationship with my nephews.

I read about two separate road rage incidents recently on TheTruckersReport.com, prompting me to me promote a podcast I did called TD66: Truckers Go Turtle Racing.

Here are the stories:

I warn drivers about Uber Freight by pointing to a Business Insider article that shows a timeline of Uber's many scandals.

The Today app is a habit-tracking app that can help you track your workout success (or failure in my case). It's iOS only, but I'm sure there's a similar app on Android.

Tabata Timer Pro on iOS or search for any Tabata app. They're pretty much all the same.

TD81: How To Do A Full-Body Workout Inside The Cab Of A Semi shows two workout videos I produced a while back. No need to wear eye protection. I'm wearing a shirt.

In the feedback section:

Mike and Chris talk about truck driving simulators.

Kyle writes in to share his thoughts on why Walmart drivers might be getting all this extra pay that other OTR drivers aren't.

Greg gives us a link to the Zodi Outback Gear Extreme Shower, which his wife uses at her Renaissance fairs.

Brian the Aussie sent an audio comment that covers a variety of topics, including the US DOT physical rules and Personal Conveyance time, which prompts me to talk about go on a mini rant. He also shows some appreciation for the podcast having a "Clean" tag, which lets him listen with his daughter around. Cool! He also wonders about my situation with my nephews since I talk about them so much. I happily explain. Lastly, he asks me to elaborate as to why I ask listeners who are submitting audio comments to keep them under three minutes. I'm happy to do so.
